AFAIK your board header should go in include/asm-ppc/platforms and your

Then are all the platforms that have their headers together with source files
in arch/ppc/platforms and nothing in include/asm-ppc wrong? For example, back
in MVista's 2.2 tree k2.h was in include/asm-ppc, but when I got to the public
tree, which by then was linuxppc_2_4_devel, it moved to arch/ppc/kernel and is
now in arch/ppc/platforms.

There's no exact way right now.  But it breaks down like this, if you
have a port which does _not_ need to change include/asm-ppc/serial.h,
they can all go in arch/ppc/platforms.  If you change
include/asm-ppc/serial.h AND newBoard_serial.h needs to include
newBoard.h, they both go in include/asm-ppc/platforms/.

If you're 8xx or 8260 tho, they always go in include/asm-ppc/platforms
because of how m8xx/m8260 ports work.

And there's always exceptions to the rule to boot :)
